     AMPLIFIED BIBLE 2015

    Overview 

    Summary:

    The goal of the translation team was to enhance the appeal ofthe Amplified Bible by refreshing the base translation text and

    refining the amplifications for relevance and clarity. The resultis an Amplified Bible that is easier to read and better than everto study and understand. The Amplified Bible, 2015 edition,includes more amplification in the Old Testament and refinedamplification in the New Testament. Additionally, the Bible texthas been improved to read smoothly without or without ampli-fications, so that the text may be read either way. The same feel

    and style of amplification has been maintained, so that thosewho read the 1987 Amplified Bible will be able to easily transi-tion to the revised edition.

    Details:

    The Amplified  Bible 2015 is, as much as is practical, a LiteralEquivalent translation of the Bible that enhances the clarity of

    Scripture by using in-text amplifications. The amplifications arebased on the nuances of the Greek and Hebrew languages andare informed by the latest advances in Biblical research. Theseamplifications uniquely expand and clarify the Biblical text,giving the reader a deeper understanding of Scripture.

    The Amplified Bible, 2015 edition, actually provides twotranslations of the Bible. This method of translation invites

    readers to step into a broader understanding of Scripture asthe amplifications help them to dig deeper into the meaning ofBiblical passages by highlighting nuances of the original Greekand Hebrew.

    The Amplified  Bible, 2015 edition, consists of two parts:

    1. The Foundational Translation faithfully follows the originalGreek and Hebrew text and may be read by skipping overthe amplifications.

    2. The Amplified Translation includes amplifications toenhance readability and textual understanding, and toprovide a framework for deeper study and spiritual growthby providing fresh insights into the text itself.

    Here a few of the benefits of reading the Amplified Bible:

    1. Amplifications reveal a word’s intensity or power along

    with the nuances of the Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek word

    used in the original text:

    “So repent [change your inner self—your old way of think-

    ing, regret past sins] and return [to God—seek His purpose

    for your life], so that your sins may be wiped away [blotted

    out, completely erased], so that times of refreshing may

    come from the presence of the Lord [restoring you like a

    cool wind on a hot day].” ACTS 3:19

    2. Amplifications clarify the meaning of a theological word:

    “Who will bring any charge against God’s elect (His chosen

    ones)? It is God who justifies us [declaring us blamelessand putting us in a right relationship with Himself].”

    ROMANS 8:33

    “Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you through

    and through [that is, separate you from profane things,

    make you pure and whole and undamaged—consecrated

    to Him—set apart for His purpose]; and may your spirit

    and soul and body be kept complete and [be found]

    blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.”

    1 THESSALONIANS 5:23

    3. Amplifications give greater depth to key verses:

    “And we know [with great confidence] that God [who is

    deeply concerned about us] causes all things to work

    together [as a plan] for good for those who love God, tothose who are called according to His plan and  purpose.”

    ROMANS 8:28 

    “I can do all things [which He has called me to do] through

    Him who strengthens and  empowers me [to fulfill His pur-

    pose—I am sufficient in Christ’s sufficiency; I am ready for

    anything through Him who infuses me with inner strength

    and confident peace].” PHILIPPIANS 4:13 

    Amplifications of the same word or phrase may differ slightlydepending on context or emphasis, or to indicate anothernuance of theology or language, or to encourage self-study.Also many words (e.g., flesh) have slightly different mean-ings in different contexts, so amplifications vary accordingly.Amplification permits traditional theological terms to be

    retained in the text while they are also clarified by a contem-porary word or phrase. Retaining and amplifying these tradi-tional words gives the reader access to the depth of meaningrooted in these terms.

    4. Use of brackets in the Amplified Bible:

    A. Brackets are used to add information, supported by other

    Scripture, that helps explain verses that are sometimesmisquoted or misunderstood:

    “Therefore you have no excuse or  justification, everyone

    of you who [hypocritically] judges and  condemns others;

    for in passing judgment on another person, you condemn

     yourself, because you who judge [from a position of arro-

    gance or self-righteousness] are habitually practicing the

    very same things [which you denounce].” ROMANS 2:1

    “For the love of money [that is, the greedy desire for it

    or the willingness to gain it unethically] is the root of all

    sorts of evil, and some by longing for it have wandered

    away from the faith and pierced themselves [through and

    through] with many sorrows.” 1 TIMOTHY 6:10

    B. In some verses brackets are used to clarify a theologicalterm not commonly used in everyday language:

    “Therefore, since we have been justified [that is, acquit-

    ted of sin, declared blameless before God] by faith, [let us

    grasp the fact that] we have peace with God [and the joy

    of reconciliation with Him] through our Lord Jesus Christ(the Messiah, the Anointed).” ROMANS 5:1

    C. Brackets can also be used within a verse to addinformation that would otherwise be placed in afootnote:

    “At that time Herod [Antipas], the tetrarch [who governed

    a portion of Palestine, including Galilee and Perea], havingheard reports about Jesus,” MATTHEW 14:1 

    NOTE: Brackets in bold type [...] indicate manuscript differenc-es and are footnoted.

    5. Use of italics in the Amplified Bible:

    A. Words implied, but not actually contained in the original

    text are printed in italic type:

    Then came the preparation day of Unleavened Bread on

     which the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed.” LUKE 22:7 

    B. The use of italic “and” “or,” or “nor” introducesamplification within a sentence:

    “But if you are guided and  led by the Spirit, you are not

    subject to the Law.” GALATIANS 5:18

    “Fathers, do not provoke or  irritate or  exasperate your

    children [with demands that are trivial or unreasonable or

    humiliating or abusive; nor by favoritism or indifference;

    treat them tenderly with lovingkindness], so they will not

    lose heart and  become discouraged or  unmotivated [with

    their spirits broken].” COLOSSIANS 3:21 

    6. Use of parentheses in the Amplified Bible:

    A. Parentheses in Roman type (...) supply the definition of aword in context:

    “Now Hagar is (represents) Mount Sinai in Arabia and shecorresponds to the present Jerusalem, for she is in slavery

     with her children.” GALATIANS 4:25 

    B. Parentheses in bold type (...) indicate a parentheticalphrase in the text and should be included when readingaloud:

    “Or do you not know brethren(for I am speaking to those

     who know the law ), that the law has jurisdiction [to rule]

    over a person as long as he lives?” ROMANS 7:1

    7. Use of nouns and pronouns in the Amplified Bible:

    A. Names of persons and/or places are often used to replacepronouns to help the reader’s understanding of a verse

    without having to return to the beginning of the passagefor clarity.

    B. In some verses pronouns retained in the text may befollowed by a proper name placed in parenthesis:

    “...he (John) saw the Spirit of God...lighting on Him

    (Jesus).” MATTHEW 3:16 

    C. Pronouns referring to God, the Father; Jesus, the Son; andthe Holy Spirit are always capitalized, so that the readerimmediately recognizes deity in the text:

    “Peter took Him aside [to speak to Him privately] and

    began to rebuke Him, saying, May God forbid it! This will

    never happen to You.” MATTHEW 16:22 

    8. General format (paragraphs/verse numbers) in the Amplified Bible:

    A. Quotation marks have been added according to normalEnglish usage.

    B. Each verse number starts on a new line so the reader canimmediately find a verse regardless of its position within

    a paragraph.

    C. Paragraph markers have been added as indicated by abold verse number or a bold letter if the new paragraphbegins within a verse for verse settings.

    D. Old Testament quotations in the New Testament are set indistinctive type.
